Florentijn Hofman is no ordinary artist. He sees the world as a huge playground.
"The Rubber Duck knows no frontiers, it doesn't discriminate people and doesn't have a political connotation. The friendly, floating Rubber Duck has healing properties: it can relieve mondial tensions as well as define them. The rubber duck is soft, friendly and suitable for all ages!"
The Loire river in France was the starting point for Florentijn Hofman's project that ultimately became a giant rubber duck. Measuring 26 m in height and yellow in colour, its impossible to ignore.
The work of Hofman is known for integrating, intriguing and interactive installations into public space. I love the strong sense of fun and the delight in seeing something unexpected.
